[QUOTE="skaarew04SVT, post: 10269336, member: 65296"] Op, glad you like my 10:1 build thread. Without e85, I would never have considered it. There is definently some misleading info in this thread. To clarify what 04sleeper and I know (amongst other memebers who have experience with e85): - E85 is not rocket science - E85 is 105 octane (R+M/2) when you appropriately calculate mixing E100 with 87 octane regular gasoline - E85 is highly oxygenated, around 30% or so. Burns much cooler. - You will burn 15 % or so more at cruise, and around 30% or so more at WOT - E85 chemical octane is similar to running C16, and makes similar power (at 9% of the cost per gallon) - Real world experiences have shown you can throw whatever boost and timing at it without detonation (of course be reasonable) - Burns a helluva lot cleaner, is unleaded, and fights carbon buildup I run triple gss342s, fore hat, yada yada yada, 80 lb injectors on my stock displacement, 2.3 whippled car. 3 pumps is not required for my setup, but i went big on fuel. As Sleeper mentioned, returnless systems work. I ran returnless with e85 no problems, made the power listed below in my sig. I decided to upgrade to return style, as it is plain and simple , easy to tune, and more predictable since you are mechanically regulating fuel pressure versus the computer regulating voltage via FPDMs in a returnless setup. I am sorry to see some folks cant quite get their returnless systems to work, but if you know how, and understand the basics, of tuning.....returnless systems work. You will have spikes here and there, nature of the beast.....but overall returnless systems do work. I chose return style to get rid of the little spikes, and simplify my setup. [/QUOTE]
